HIGHWAY MONTHLY REPORT: ACTIVITIES: Numerous nuisance storms 1-inch" or less wreaked havoc with overtime and sand and salt application. Then came the rain, which made soft roads and consequently ruts. We ended up spreading in excess of 500 ton of screen fill to level the ruts in a race with time before the roads refroze. Next came the cold spell along with areas of ice which that created far from desirable conditions for this time of year. We have gone through 800 tons of winter sand already. Preventative maintenance is the push. All the trucks and equipment have gotten oil changes, grease, and liquids topped off and examination for worn parts. Truck #8 got a new steering box and had a host of electrical problems fixed. There was a short in the dash that we were able to repair in house thanks to Alan s help. On the Mini Excavator we replaced a water pump and hoses that were dried out. What a bear to work on as the area is very compact, we re cleaning and touching up paint spots that are showing rust. Truck #12 is currently getting new brakes. Truck #7 needed a new bed chain for the sander. We are working on this years projected road projects by gathering costs and finding potential time slots for the contracted work. This year the emphasis is on paving provided we have better weather than we did last year!
